guys, please shutup if you dont know anything about his problem.
You need a lower cover to prevent crap from breaking your belt. Also, if you want to actually set your timing, you need that cover on there.
there are 2 covers that Honda B series use. one is very rounded on the bottom and only has 1 bolt on the bottom and the other has 2 bolts on the bottom and its more flat.
if you cannot get your cover on your new pump, i suggest comparing the 2 oil pumps to make sure they are are same where the cover bolts to. that sounds like its the problem.
if you can take pics of everything, i can tell you what the problem is.
